I worked 15+ years in a fast food restaurant. I was informally part of the training team. I can say that despite the job being labled "unskilled," it indeed took skill. There were numerous people who just couldn't do it. There was at least one instance of a person who was training who didn't make it past the first 3 days on the job. You had to learn how to handle the various ovens. How to handle the knives, etc. That doesn't even include interactions with customers

Would you know how to tackle a seemingly endless lunch line of demanding customers without breaking down? How much of what product to make to account for demand?

The phrase "unskilled labor" gets under my skin every time. I didn't sit through numerous classes related to my job just to be told i was "unskilled"

I don't like the judo flip in moa as much as the next guy but in my eyes it's largely the result of rick not taking female violence half as seriously as male violence (a result of viewing women as weaker and inferior to men such that their acts of violence don't need to be taken as seriously) and not so much anything about annabeth herself. like I do genuinely feel that annabeth is a complex heroine and definitely one of the better ones in the realm of ya action-adventure fiction produced in the past 25 years but she is still a girl being written by a man and all I'm saying is that her writing clearly reflects that sometimes (more in tags)

So I have had a ridiculous amount of fun this last week plushifying art and throwing my usual crafting rules out the window as I did so*, and I think I want to make plushifying art a more regular thing? I'm not sure how best to do that, though. Should I make a post that's like "reblog this if you want your art turned into plushies", or "reblog this with links to art you want turned into plushies" or suggest a tag that people can add to art they want plushified, and then I go through the tag when I want to make some plushies? *no paper patterns, just drawing directly on the fabric so each plushie is one of a kind

Oh so you're an art thief. Stealing other people's art and idea using ai and claiming it as your own. Gross, unfollowed and blocked. Maybe do some research into ai art and how harmful it is.

since this person blocked me they won't hear my response, but I wanted to post this in case the point of my previous post wasn't clear:

I want to talk about ways to improve and ethically use AI image algorithms specifically because of how much research I've done on how harmful they are.

as a professional artist, I'm among the group of people at direct risk of losing my livelihood to artificial intelligence.

however, as someone who's also fully entrenched in the industry of new technologies and who has had an interest in them for many years, I know that we invent things first and then ask the ethical questions about them later.

I'm in a unique position where I'm often in public speaking situations about the confluence of art and technology, and I want to use my voice to try and have some say in how we can make things like VR, AR, and AI more ethical and safe for everyone.

I would never take an AI generated image and claim it as my own - this is part of the reason why I'm being upfront about the way I'm experimenting with using them for artistic reference and as part of my process.

I believe that technology isn't inherently good or bad, and that it's up to us to find positive ways to use it. I want to be part of the search for those positive ways.

We already know this to be true. Look at how people (in the US) reacted when COVID shut everything down. And many were labeled ‘essential workers’ until companies could go back to claiming ‘nobody wants to work anymore’ in less than 2 years.

They are, basically then, socially essential. And people should be paid a living wage for any job, especially an essential one.

People who say this are literally saying that they prefer for the workers to all be inexperienced and desperately looking for other jobs. But they somehow also expect good service.

i bring an “all labor is skilled labor” vibe to the history class that the capitalists here dont really like

[blackmoldmp3]

this is so funny. designated frothing fascist bc i think algorithmic machine generated images kind of blow and also are absolutely horrendous for the environment

[goracykubek]

I don't know if "unskilled labor" is a real job category over in the US but I keep seeing the tags "no such thing as unskilled labor" on videos of road workers doing something cool, machine operators, or just anyone in high vis honestly. And it's been driving me nuts for some reason maybe because it sounds so condescending. And american

I'm an argumentative bastard just like both my parents but I try not to get into fights too much because a lot of arguments just turn into a waste of time but fuck man. It's really hard sometimes.
